Short version: Foot Hurts , who should I see?
Long version:
So 3 years ago I had a issue where my foot just hurt so bad I couldn't put any pressure on it, urgent care said probably gout they don't know gave me meds sent me on my way. Same thing happened 2 years ago, and again recently in December. I never checked it out cause after the meds I was back to 100% but this last time after it happened I have had a dull pain every day.
In December the swelling was so bad I couldn't put my shoe on it.
I have swelling, redness, pain in the ankle (feel like in the joint), warm to the touch. Urgent care this last time said the same thing ughh idk whats wrong maybe gout and to go to E R if it happens again. Well its happened again and I don't want to waste my time going to the ER if there not gonna try to figure it out.
My problem is my PCP cant get me in for like 2 months and is just going to refer me some where else anyways.
Any one deal with any doctors that have had great results with foot problems? Also any one know of any doctors that see patients really early in the morning(7am or earlier) or really late (6 or later?)
Due to time limitations and the pain im in i might have to do the er, but do you think the ER might actually try to diagnose this thing or just give me meds and boot me out the door?
I don't usually go to Er at all but this paid is about 7/10 and hindering me from walking with out great pain.
TLDR? Foot Hurts , who should I see?
Pics for swelling, I know im a bit behind on my pedicure.
